A reminder that the “#Plato and #Aristotle” section in #Raffaello's “La Scuola di Atene”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_School_of_Athens
https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scuola_di_Atene
is best enjoyed picturing the two characters with a phantom #basketball each.

Detail of the Raphael's “School of Athens” fresco depicting an elder Plato with a raised right hand and upwards-pointing index finger debating something with his younger pupil Aristotle, who is holding a book in his left hand, and extending his right arm forward with an open, downward-facing palm. You can easily imagine Artistotle dribbling a phantom basketball while Plato is spinning one on his extended index finger.
